One Rule + One Mechanic + One Interpretation = the Board #6 Way
I know I am in-sync with my partner during the game because ...
-We have frequent eye contact, we acknowledge signals to each other at the 1' mark before end of quarter, and come together for quick verbal exchanges as needed during double whistles or time outs.
-Eye contact and communication.
-That what we talked about during our pre-game and we have to watch out for one another during the game
-I always know where he/she is, I always know what he/she is calling, and I always know where we will be putting the ball in play after his/her call.
-Our calls are mirrored within our respective PCA with minimal double whistles.
-I keep him/her in sight and my signals are very clear for him/her to interpret.
